Bundi
Built
in the 14th century, the Taragarh Fort is the star attraction in Bundi.
With the entry being free and souvenir shops fortunately absent, the
fort provides an option of peaceful ramble round its premises. Inside
the instant eye-catchers include the Bhim Burj, a large battlement
with a cannon placed on it and a large reservoir carved out of single
piece of rock. The views from the fort are exceptional, specially
during the sunset when the rays seems to lend a lovely grace to the
entire area. 
The
palace was constructed during the reigns of Umed Singh on the banks
of Sukh Sagar or the Jait Sagar. The palace was meant for providing
the princes a free hand to do what they liked away from the supervision
of the Rao. The highlight of the palace is the white marble chhatri
that stands in the centre of the roof of the second storey. The palace,
that serves as the Irrigation Rest House today, holds the honour of
playing host to the famous writer, Rudyard Kipling. 
Adjacent
to the fort and past the bazaar, a wooden gate leads to the beautiful
Bundi Palace. The highlight of this palace is the beautiful murals
that carry the spectators back into the time of Bundi royalty. The
murals cover almost entire palace walls, however, all these areas
are not open for public viewing barring the Chitrashala. For visiting
other areas, special permission needs to be obtained from the secretary
of the Maharaja of Bundi. Photography is not allowed otherwise Bundi
palace, illuminated with lights during night, presents a glowing beauty
to be captured on camera.
